The love affair of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn’s sass towards Spencer Tracy, Marilyn Monroe floating around set, Cary Grant dashing his way through every troubled situation, it was the golden age of Hollywood. And who isn’t obsessed with the rumors surrounding it, the classics made from it, the love, the hate, the legacies?

I think it’s safe to assume that Adriana Trigiani has the same obsession with classic Hollywood as the rest of us, considering her latest novel, All the Stars in the Heaven, is set in and around the golden age of Hollywood. But, not to get lost in the stardom, we forget that those classic eras actors and actresses aren’t just figments of our imagination or legends, they’re people with lives. With families built around the scandals the media grew, with loves publicized over every tabloid and radio show, with every aspect of their life folded hand-in-hand with the general public, it’s hard to be a star. Most notable example of such being Marilyn Monroe, now with Trigiani’s novel, Loretta Young as well.
